dc.descriptionNovember 2013.
dc.description.abstractThe period from September 9-16, 2013 saw unprecedented rainfall in many parts of Colorado, and 17 counties were significantly impacted by heavy rain and flooding. The estimated value of the lost production is somewhere between $3.4 and $5.5 million. The flood resulted in many other losses for the farmers and ranchers. This does not include damage to fences, some stacked hay, irrigation systems, roads, bridges, homes and farm/ranch buildings, wells, and other related structures and machinery. Wet fields which may delay the harvest, debris in fields, and temporary relocation of livestock are a problem for many producers. While the moisture received in most areas was a welcome relief from dry conditions which has plagued Colorado, the record rainfall did come at a significant cost to many producers.
